Resistance Warning

OSPRAY DIURON 500 FLOWABLE HERBICIDE is a member of the UREAS group of herbicides. OSPRAY DIURON 500 has the inhibitors of Photosynthesis at Photosystem II mode of action. For weed resistance management, OSPRAY DIURON 500 is a Group C herbicide.

Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to OSPRAY DIURON 500 FLOWABLE HERBICIDE and other Group C herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly.

These resistant weeds will not be controlled by OSPRAY DIURON 500 or other Group C herbicides.

Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, OSPRAY PTY LTD accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of OSPRAY DIURON 500 HERBICIDE to control resistant weeds.

Protection of wildlife, fish, crustaceans and environment

Do not contaminate streams and rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

Protection of crop, native and other non-target plants

DO NOT use on very light sandy or gravelly soils as crop damage may occur.

DO NOT replant treated areas within two years of an application of OSPRAY DIURON 500 FLOWABLE HERBICIDE except when otherwise stated on the label.

DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. This product is only selective if rates appropriate to the crop and soil type as indicated in the Directions for Use table are strictly adhered to.

DO NOT use for soil sterilisation near or under trees or shrubs.

DO NOT clean out equipment where the chemical may be washed or drained into contact with root systems of desirable plants.

Safety Directions

Disposal

Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point.

If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and products should not be burnt.
